i think the current way young people laugh is completely inappropriate.

i long for the days when people used to guffaw and bellow--with style and class.

today's laughter completely lacks reverence to the past, it is devoid of old world heartiness. gone are the days when chaps used to chortle like winston churchill and chuckle like the great apostles.

it irks me to no end when i hear the cheap cackle of today's youth--often in response to a crude pseudo-witticism. laughter should only be reserved for times of great joy and when witnessing the destruction of our enemies--the terrorists and those who oppose a united chinese republic and illiterate africans (god, i hate them the most).

How droll. Have you no decorum, whippersnapper, bringing up such a sordid subject on an intarwbenethingy?

My apologies but that is merely a tool used by the plebeian masses due to their lack of propriety. Narf!

This thread made me break out in a crude, high-pitched cackle lacking in severity and pomp.

If I may interject, I feel I must point out that for reasons both unfortunate and beyond my control, my pattern of speech is not too far removed from this. Err, forsooth, avast and rack of lamb. As a postscript, I also could not fail to notice your quite masterful interpretation of my said speech as something befitting my illustrious id. For it will otherwise complain - quite vehemently I would dare say - of the lack of recognition of its multitude of splendid qualities. And, of course, the oregano on the aforementionmed rack of lamb. On the by, dear sir, "chum" is what the ones who are pescatoriallly inclined utilise to bring in their bounty, not I!!!

Dear Sir,

One is impelled to respond to this posting with an affirmative agreement.

The affront to one's decorum when one sights a young person giggling like one of those musical happy-go-lucky foreigners is certainly enough for one to take a stiff drink.

One has certain standards.

Yours etc...

"Dear Sir,
I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the forum which you have setup, about the lumberjack who wears japanese denim. Many of my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a few of them are transvestites. Yours faithfully, Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs)"

My only issues with laughter are when it involves snot spraying out of someone's nostrils. Or soda pop, I suppose.
